Amon Duul II
"Die Deutschrock Nacht"
Rockpalast TV Special, WDR TV
6th & 13th Aug 2006 [Pro-Shot dvb-s 5xDVDs]

After broadcasting the Rockpalast-Deutschrock documentary "Kraut und Rüben", we received many inquiries from viewers asking us when we would broadcast the full concerts of the groups - abridged parts of which had been shown in the documentary series. Although, except for very few cases, Rockpalast would hardly ever have recorded any full-length concert, we nonetheless found a lot of video material that is more or less complete so that we decided to broadcast it in a total of 10 hours spread over two evenings.

The videos cover the whole range of groups featured in the documentary, ranging from the Scorpions and Tangerine Dream, to Kraftwerk, Eloy, Ton Steine Scherben, Can, Guru Guru Amon Düül II. In addition, we will also show a number of very rare videos which we did not use in the documentary. Most of the videos have not been seen on TV since their first and only broadcast. We hope that in showing them, the collective term "Krautrock" can finally be buried as useless (meaning: can be dropped as being too general a term to account for the diversity of the groups).

There is very little footage of ADII available, so to see this all at once is staggering, especially Surrounded By The Stars with the wonderful Renate Knaup on vocals. Superb.
